It's more that he has to fly literally to the exact opposite end of the continent to find anywhere willing to listen to his pay-to-play shrieking engagements.

I'll take "Things that impossibly got me to like Apple even less" for $300.
You know, I can think of nothing guaranteeing I want to buy a product less than it being advocated by an inveterate nutcase who provably knows less about computers than Chris does about hypnosis.

Wait a second, she has 15 million gil? Going by some of the replies on that tweet she's new to the game (she doesn't even know what Artifact Armor is). 15 million gil for a new player is nigh impossible. Surely she would have had to buy from a gil seller which is, of course, in violation of XIV's TOS and a bannable offense.

It's a little hard to notice in that screenshot, but pretty sure it says that character is level 44. Does that count as new? Roughly how much playtime is required to reach that level?

Of course Wu would try to pay to win in an MMO.

Or Feminist War Cult just gave it to her. Or she used someone else's screenshot so she can be outraged. I don't know how Final Fantasy is but in the MMOs I used to play players really, really hated people who bought in-game money. MMORPGs always eventually get a fucked up economy because the foundation of that economy is shit that basically appears out of thin air when you kill a mob. Gold farmers hasten the inevitable inflation but they're also unavoidable which is why it's easier to shame people who buy gold online. When a game's inflation gets too high then developers try to create money sinks in an attempt to stabilize things. It never works. The money sinks are often more for bragging rights (like a mount or some rare piece of gear that looks cool but doesn't offer that much) and the gold farmers don't give a fuck about that shit so they just keep at it because demands for gold have just increased even more.
So yeah, the people who buy gold help ruin shit for everybody else. Mainly for casual players who just want to blow off some steam at the end of the day.

Bullshit Wu, that game shows you how to use assembler and perhaps gives you some idea how some basic programming techniques and algorithms work - and that's about it. It's like saying "Well know you know how to drive stick, but nothing else about cars or how to behave on the road! Anyway, here's your license!"
Of course calling Wu "dumbass" is sexist, in her case the proper term is "dumbgelding".

The way it works is you get some sample input, but I think the way it judges if your solution passes is there's a test suite for each level on the back end that it runs over your program that catches edge cases that don't work. There's even an achievement for making a program that passes on the sample input but fails in the general case.. I guess that's how the runtime challenge is also calculated, the average time for the tests to run.

Oh look, the same exact picture she always uses. Shocker.
WHY WOULD YOU BRING ATTENTION TO THIS?!

Because in the end, she doesn't give a single iota of a shit about what's happening to women, as long as she has the attention she craves.

Possible Narrative 1:
"This is a coordinated attack by #GamerGate, they are injecting a recursive trojan worm in our mail daemon as we speak!"
"They already overloaded our firewalls with first day exploits and trying to enter the GSX servers via an open interrupt in the firmware of the network relay!"
"No! #GamerGate did massive damage to Rev 60 Steam! The game will be delayed until April 31 next year!"
"Donate to my Patreon!"
Possible Narrative 2:
"Bri4nn4 Wu is a bad gam3 d3velopper and s0 ugly I w0n'7 rape her! Deagle Nation4Evar!"
"Oh no!

Some post from this........um, "person".......showed up on my feed as a result of a friend signal blasting it. Thought to myself man, that name looks familiar. Then I remembered this thread.
Made it through about 8 of the 712 pages. Have decided it's easier to just hold a candlelight vigil for a fallen friend who I thought was strong enough to not follow someone like this in a non-thisbitchiscraycray sort of way. He will be missed. I really liked him.
Oh, and her post was some bullshit about how the male patriarchy is responsible for the Orlando shooting. So there's that.

She's very new. Level cap is 60 but she's not even done with ARR's main story yet. Keep in mind that she has yet to do the 2.x patch series which is about 20 hours of content before she can reach the 3.0 expansion main story and the 3.x patch series (3.3 dropped just last week). Just about everything is gated behind main story progression. For instance, she cannot enter any Heavensward (3.0 content) area, unlock the new HW jobs OR access 50-60 job quests. If she were crafting or gathering (which I highly, highly doubt) she would not have access to the more lucrative Heavensward recipes and materials. And even though MSQ loves to reward people with gil it's nowhere near that amount if you happened to save it all.
She either bought the gil or someone else gave it to her. We don't know her in game name or what server she plays on or if she's affiliated with an FC (XIV's version of a guild). I don't see Wu as a very sociable type though, so unless she had some twitter friends to hook her up I don't know why she'd join an FC (XIV is very solo friendly).
Let's assume she does have a friend or friends that gave her that much gil. It's wasted on her. Gil isn't such a big deal unless you want to buy glamour gear (which she can't even do yet) or buy a house or become, say, an uber crafter. And if she had friends rich enough to give her that gil, they're probably crafters and would happily kit her out with HQ gear (trivial to make at her level) and she wouldn't have to rely on dungeon gear like she talks about in the screenshot.
I suppose if she's on a podunk server she might be waiting to use the money to buy a house. Which is laughable because it would be relinquished after a few weeks of her not logging in, and I don't see her sticking with the game long enough to justify buying the house in the first place.
/sperg
Gil seller spam is a big problem on smaller servers in XIV. It wouldn't be unusual for someone to receive a dozen or more tells an hour. So Wu would know where to go to get gil for cash within a few minutes of joining any server that's not on constant lockdown due to max population.
